Rudha Reidh

Near Durness, Sutherland

Rudha Reidh is a charming coastal retreat with gorgeous sea views set in an enclosed garden less than half a mile from Smoo Cave near Durness in Sutherland.

This cottage has a choice of places to relax as it has two cosy, wood-panelled sitting rooms, each of which has comfy seating and its very own wood-burning stove to curl up in front of so it is ideal for parties who want the option of having some of their own space.

There are two sunrooms, one at the front and one at the back, so the sun can be sought out no matter what time of day. The front sunroom has views out to sea and there is an informal dining area in the rear sunroom which is a great place for bird watching. In the kitchen everything that is needed is to hand and there is also a handy shower room downstairs.

Upstairs is the family bathroom and the two bedrooms that both have lovely sea views to admire from the windows and have been set up for maximum flexibility as the beds can either be twin or pushed together. The stairs are steep and fairly narrow so they may not be suitable for those with limited mobility.

Parking is just by the back garden and, once the gates are closed, the garden is enclosed all the way round the cottage. From the front garden there is a wonderful open view out to the sea and distant cliffs beyond.

The restaurant in the Smoo Cave Hotel just 5 minutes’ walk away is a great place to head for a drink or a night off from cooking. The Smoo Cave sea cave less than half a mile away is fascinating to explore (bring sensible footwear) and is particularly beautiful where the waters of the Allt Smoo pour into the cave in a fantastic waterfall.

There are a couple of well-stocked shops in Durness (1 mile) where there is a 9 hole golf course that has two sets of tees so that 18 holes can be played.

The area is known for its mild microclimate which can be enjoyed on some of the magnificent beaches dotted along the coast. There is a beach in easy walking distance half a mile away and at Balnakeil beach (2.5 miles) you may be joined by the free roaming cows that like to visit.

A seasonal ferry service from the pier at Keoldale (4 miles) runs out to the well known Cape Wrath at Scotland’s most north westerly point. From the ferry drop-off it is an 11 mile (rather bumpy!) mini bus ride out to the Cape itself where there are absolutely stunning panoramic views to be admired all around and a fine lighthouse that dates back to 1828.

Ceannabeinne beach (2 miles) is very picturesque with its amazing white sand and turquoise waters and there is even a seasonal zipwire that sends the brave flying over the beach at speeds of up to 40 mph!

Walkers and hill climbers will find plenty to occupy them as there are lots of hill walks to try and the most northerly of all the munros, Ben Hope (26 miles) to tackle just an hour’s drive away. Try sea fishing off the coastline or brown trout fishing on one of the four nearby limestone lochs where boats can be hired.

As there is so little light pollution this far north you may even be lucky enough to witness the stunning Aurora Borealis or ‘Northern Lights’ during your stay.

Please note: while we make every effort to be as accurate as possible, the actual position of the cottage indicated on the map above and the proximity of the amenities in the Local Info section cannot be guaranteed to be precise and should be used as a guide only.

Coudl have done with a hand rail in shower room as we had an elderly relative with us oherwise no complaints whatsoever.

Unique cottages were celebrating 25 year anniversary and offering a £40 discount on bookings. I was diappointed, although I've used the company for several years I wasn't eligable for the discount because I had booked early. Another case of it doesn't pay to be loyal.

Excellent - we have rented properties several times from Unique Cottages, always 5 star. Unique Cottages provided all that we needed for 6 adults and 3 under 2 1/2 year olds. Very well laid out and equipped with space for all and quiet "grown up" space too. Location and views from house were beautiful. The welcome hamper was a welcome surprise !
